This is an amazing little cafe! Everything was fresh and delicious, seasoned just right and really tasty. The pulled Turkey sandwich was fantastic, as was the burgers. The staff
is friendly and very outgoing, always refilling drinks and engaging with customers.
My sister and I agreed we'd return soon!

Kitchen is not a regular restaurant but a restaurant theater where the food, the chef and the staff are the stars !. The chef is entertaining with good sense of humor and has amazing culinary skills. The staff was attentive, friendly and ready to make the evening spectacular for us.
We were here for about 4 hours but didnt feel it was too long. The food was extensive, in addition to the course menu, the intermission had spread of gourmet food ( Sushi, tacos and other snacks). We were served a platter of dessert along with the dessert course and a take out box to take it home.
On arrival we were encourage to roam the back kitchen and pantry where small plates were offered.
All in all incredible experience watching chef and crew make food in front of us, entertaining talks and amazing food.

You know that most Starbucks are almost exactly the same. The differentiating factor of course is the service. During my three day stay at the hotel in which this Starbucks was located, the young lady who waited on me took the time to remember my name and would say hello every morning I passed by. Also remembered what type of coffee I wanted also. Best!

We dropped in for breakfast and, although it looked busy, we were seated promptly. The menu is extensive and offers some fun choices. I chose a blueberry scone to accompany my omelet which the gal said they make there along with cinnamon rolls, biscuits, etc. Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was good. The ambience is pleasantly casual with an emphasis on the family who started the restaurant. This place offers a step up from ordinary fare.

Rey Azteca is our favorite go to restaurant. The original restaurant which is small and cozy and our favorite is located at Kenneth and Fair Oaks Blvd. They have opened a larger restaurant just down the street at Palm and Fair Oaks Blvd. with a slightly smaller menu. Very friendly service and fabulous tasty food with a varied and imaginative menu guarantees a fun and delicious dining experience.

Often overlooked by the Ruth's Chris, Mortons crowd, they've been serving tasty steaks, lamb, chicken and chops for a long time at a much more affordable price.
Set in a western theme, dinner is served with a big salad bowl as you like it, baked potato and they bring a kettle of beans to the table...all you want. So you do not go away hungry and don't empty the bank account.

Jack's offers a wide variety of food. There's always made to order salads with choices of veggies, dressings including sliced grilled chicken or Turkey. Hand carved fresh cooked Turkey dinner with the trimmings. Grilled potatoes, veggies, etc. When I walk out of Jack's I feel like I just ate a really healthy meal. I know I'll be back again, sooner than later.

Reviewed By Bill P - San Francisco, California
Went here for dinner and while I'm he food was ok the service and the margaritas were below standard. Best thing about the food was the chip , salsa bar. Pork chili verde was good but I've never had white beans served in a Mexican restaurant, very bland
Ordered a Cadillac margarita, here that means cheap well tequila and a fake grand marnier. It was no doubt the worst margarita I've ever had. If it had been a buck I still wouldn't have drank it. I couldn't drink half of this sickly sweet off tasting drink and the server didn't do anything even when I told her it was awful
Save yourself the trouble many better places around

It is not shown on the internet, but they have "mid-week specials" which are available Monday thru Sunday, and they are an amazing buy, eg. Tuesday-Prime Rib with Baked Potato- $19.95. I had it and it was excellent. They have a very good wine list...MoreWe're so glad that you enjoyed your experience! Thank you for the review.
